New, Help with plan for testing out of B.S. at COSC. Is it possible??

BS vs BA is essentially meaningless in for Psych. That should not be a deciding factor for you. Graduate programs in Psych might require specific undergrad courses in your pysch program, but I've never seen one that requires BS over BA and I would be shocked if you tracked one down that did.

FEMA is another story, as TESU stopped accepting those years ago. COSC is the only one of the Big 3 that still easily/cheaply accepts FEMA, and if you've completed a bunch of FEMA already then or really have your heart set taking them soon to utilize them in free electives, then COSC could definitely be the better option. I'm not sure how many free electives COSC allows for, but if it's a lot them FEMA could save a good chunk of money for you.

As far as transferring trouble, TESU has been pretty straight forward and even with some recent changes it's still been incredibly easy to see how things fit. COSC's degree maps are a lot less clear cut, but it's definitely still doable to put in some effort to figure it all out (and probably apply to get an initial assessment of your existing credit and likely more help pre-planning the stuff we don't have equivalencies form COSC for yet).

Thank you so much, I think I’ll just try to find a TESU psych degree plan since there are clear cut tried and tested plans for that. Either way it’s all much cheaper than a traditional route for the degree would be so the possible cost difference doesn’t matter for me. I just want to get it done.
